Two for Tuesday are two words with different spellings, different meanings, and they are pronounced exactly the same way. They are homophones, so again: spelled differently, different meanings, pronounced exactly the same way. So our words today are Sunday the day of the week and sundae an ice cream treat. So to say these words correctly we have two beats sun and day So let's start with syllable number one: To say sun we're going to start with that s sound: air moves out of your mouth, your tongue is not touching anything; and then, we're going to move to that short uh sound, that short u, then end with the n by touching the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front teeth. Air is going to move out of the nose for that n. sun sun sun For the second part, for day, again, touch the tip of the tongue to the back of the top front teeth for that d - the air is going to puff out, your voice box is on and moving. Then you're going to open your mouth wide for that A sound. And when you open your mouth wide the tip of your tongue is going to be low on your mouth, the back of your tongue is going to be pulled up: a, and then you're going to close your mouth to a smile to finish that vowel. day day day sun day sun day sunday sunday sunday And I have sun underlined because that is the syllable that we are going to stress in the word. That syllable will be louder, higher in pitch, and longer. sunday sunday sunday I do want to just comment that I do hear some people say sunday for this word sunday it's a variation I don't hear it very often, but i do hear it every once in a while. And sometimes I hear it in a movie so I did want to comment on that. But again let's practice one more time our words are sunday sunday sunday And now for a sentence I plan to enjoy a sundae on Sunday. I plan to enjoy a sundae on Sunday. So give it a try I know people are going to notice the difference if you found this helpful I'd love a like a share and a subscribe. Check out our products on google play and iTunes.
